Incredible! They're all so dewy!
Do you keep the Drosera box covered or does the humidity build up in there without a cover? The dews in there look wonderful. And if I may ask, how much light are the graoms getting? I'm wondering because I see a schizzy in there too and their light requirements seem to be different.
I recently read about D. spatulata "Ivan's Three Way Australian" and am very interested in acquiring it. Any chance you could take a cutting or two for me? I'll pm you with stuff I can trade in the future.
It's always a treat looking at the pics you post!

Thanks Devon!
I keep them totally covered (with the lids from the box) and ventilated with a couple holes I drilled in the tops and sides of the boxes, so humidity is pretty high. I think the graoms are about six inches away from the lights at most, the shizzy is growing at the bottom of the container about nine inches from the lights and it's sorta shaded by the pots around it so it doesn't get a ton of light.
I'll definitely get you some of that dew, it's a super fantastic hybrid and a pleasure to grow.
Thanks again!
Gabriel

Nice plants! Does someone look after them while you're at school or do you just seal them in their boxes and let them do their thing for a few months? I ask because I'm looking for ways to care for plants while I'm away for 3 or 4 weeks.

Hi Gabriel - Those are some healthy looking plants! I'm shocked you have been away for a while. Like Hal, I would love to know how you manage that. You have a great specimen plant in that D. aliciae "Silvermine, RSA". You could show that thing!

Really nice shots Peat.
Considering that they only get minimal attention, the result are fantastic.
If you're at home, I would really like to see the schiz flower look in your growing condition.

Thanks Everyone! hal, My Mother gives them water whenever she sees them running low, usually she keeps about an inch in the bottom of the trays. That said, I think she's only topped them up about three times in the last three months, and given them no other care than that, so they're pretty low effort the way I have them. The boxes are sealed, but have a couple holes in them to help with ventilation. Apoplast, Thanks! I love that plant, it's a really fantastic clone of aliciae. I've been trying to get seeds out of it, but the flowerstalks keep failing for some reason. @shogg, I'll try and grab some pics whenever it opens up if I'm still around!
